No visit to Iceland can be complete without taking an adventure trip to Þríhnúkagígur, dormant volcano in west Iceland, famous for its enormous magma chamber. Taking this 3-day adventure trip to the Krakatau volcano and the Ujung Kulon National Park which extends across the Sunda Strait, will allow you to see a few of Indonesia’s treasures in one go.

This breathtaking volcano tour takes you inside a dormant volcano, through the top crater and to the bottom of its magma chamber where molten magma flowed during an eruption. Reached via an hour long hike and entered by way of an open cable lift, a descent of 120 metres, the ground space inside the volcano is equivalent in size to around three basketball courts, and the cavity could easily fit the Statue of Liberty.
Following an eruption magma chambers usually collapse, but in Þríhnúkagígur the lava drained out like water from a pipe leaving the volcano’s plumbing system empty. The Þríhnúkagígur crater is
therefore one few places in the world where you can enter a magma chamber.
